Jorge Masvidal and Michael Bisping were both in Montevideo for his past Saturday’s UFC Uruguay card. As recently as a few months ago, would have been a problem.<\/p>\n

Until very recently, the former UFC middleweight champion and the top welterweight contender were mortal enemies, with Masvidal taking repeated shots at Bisping in interviews and on social media.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, there was legitimate concern as to what my happen if the pair wound up in the same room together.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Bisping and Masvidal were able to squash their beef<\/a> ahead of Masvidal’s UFC London victory over Darren Till. So, when they crossed paths in Uruguay, they posed for a picture instead of beating each other senseless.<\/p>\n

Both men posted about this encounter on their respective Instagram accounts.<\/p>\n

“Didn\u2019t have to be cool in\u00a0#England\u00a0during my fight week but was respectful to me. Thanks for being a standup guy\u00a0@mikebisping”<\/em> – Jorge Masvidal on Instagram.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“Soda only these days with\u00a0@gamebredfighter.”<\/em> – Michael Bisping on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal is riding high on back-to-back knockout wins over Darren Till and former Bellator and ONE champ Ben Askren. His defeat of Askren, a five-second flying knee at UFC 239, shattered the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history. The Cuban-American, who was in Montevideo doing promotional work, does not currently have a fight booked. Although he has recently campaigned for a fight with Conor McGregor or a title fight with Kamaru Usman, it sounds like he’ll have to settle for a grudge match with Leon Edwards<\/a>, as McGregor’s future is uncertain and Usman will seemingly fight Colby Covington next.<\/p>\n

Michael Bisping, as aforementioned, is the former UFC middleweight champion. He retired in late 2017 after losses to Georges St-Pierre and Kelvin Gastelum, and has recently started working as a UFC commentator \u2014 the reason for his trip to Montevideo.<\/p>\n

Are you surprised to see Jorge Masvidal and Michael Bisping getting so friendly in Uruguay?<\/p>\n
